Before Charlie, before the Chocolate Factory, comes a story of invention and imagination . . . Ever since he was a child, Willy Wonka had dreamed of making chocolate and sharing it with the world. As a young man, he arrives at the world-famous Galeries Gourmet, determined to change the world one delectable bite at a time. But hounded by a trio of jealous chocolatiers, and tricked into a lifetime of washhouse drudgery, Wonka will need a little luck and a whole lot of magic – along with some help from a few friends – to fulfil his destiny. Because if you’re lucky enough to meet Willy Wonka, anything is possible. This delicious tale of dreams, friendship and chocolate is based on the major motion picture, Wonka, directed by Paul King, who created the story and wrote the screenplay with Simon Farnaby.

ELMER AND GINA WHITCOMB BOUGHT A RESTAURANT. THEIR CHILDREN TURNED IT INTO A LEGACY. When Elmer and Gina bought the Bon-Bon in 1979, what they envisioned was a small family business that would bring their nine children together. What followed was a series of lessons that brought pain and heartache from the struggle to keep their dream alive. But what the Whitcombs found in the process was an inner resilience borne of faith and family that not only sustained them through rough times but carried them to success. Forty-five years later, Elmer's vision lives on through next-generation Whitcombs and an extended family of team members who embody Whitsons Way. While this story marks the history of Whitsons' beginnings, it is far from the end-and the journey to get here was nothing short of miraculous. Within these pages lies more than a story; it's a chance to make a difference. With every copy of "Whitsons Way" sold, we're donating all proceeds to the Whitsons Family Foundation. Your purchase supports Whitsons' team members in need. Thank you for turning these pages into hope.

Vonkka-elokuvaan perustuva uusi seikkailu Roald Dahlin maailmassa! Ennen Jalia ja suklaatehdasta oli tarina täynnä keksintöjä ja mielikuvitusta... Parhaat asiat saavat alkunsa unelmasta. Villi Vonkka on pienestä asti unelmoinut valmistavansa suklaata koko maailmalle. Nuorena miehenä hän sitten saapuu Gurmeegalleriaan ja päättää muuttaa maailman suussasulava suklaapala kerrallaan. Villi joutuu kuitenkin kolmen kateellisen suklaamaakarin hampaisiin ja päätyy raatamaan päivät pitkät pesulassa. Nyt ovat hyvät neuvot kalliit: Villi tarvitsee unelmansa toteuttamiseen paitsi tuuria ja taikuutta myös ystävien apua. Kaikki on mahdollista, jos sattuu olemaan Villi Vonkka. Tämä uusi Roald Dahlin vinkeään maailmaan sijoittuva tarina on esiosa kirjalle Jali ja suklaatehdas. Roald Dahl (1916–1990) oli brittiläinen vakooja, hävittäjälentäjä, suklaahistorioitsija ja keksijä. Hän oli myös kirjailija, joka tunnetaan muun muassa teoksistaan Jali ja suklaatehdas, Matilda, Kuka pelkää noitia ja Iso Kiltti Jätti. Kirja pohjautuu joulukuussa 2023 ensi-iltansa saavaan elokuvaan Vonkka, jonka käsikirjoituksen takana ovat elokuvan ohjaaja Paul King sekä Simon Farnaby. Tarinan on muokannut romaaniksi bestseller-kirjailija Sibéal Pounder.

One of my favorite books is "Alas Babylon" by author Pat Frank. Another one is "The Stand" by Stephen King. What both stories have in common is man's resourcefulness to survive. I have for many years thought about what kind of story I would like to write and what the events surrounding my story would entail. I have spent two years researching and outlining "What If?" The question for you is this, what would or could you do if everything you have know as a normal everyday life was turned on its head and you were faced with survival in a chaotic new world. This is about a regular man, much like someone you work with or your neighbor next door. He is like most of us who go to work each day and works around the house on the weekend. When we are busy making a living, our focus is primarily on our job. We catch occasional insights of the world we live in on TV or social media. When I retired, I found that I had many hours to fill where I had once spent those hours at work. The 2016 Presidential election created a news frenzy and it was then that I discovered that an alternative media was thriving via the internet paticulary on You Tube. I found it interesting that the mainstream media and the alternative media constantly were on the attack against one another with the accusations of which one of them was reporting "Fake News "I began to listen to many of the "You Tube" podcasts, and found them to be at the very least entertaining. However, there were some that for me, were making a valiant attempt to report the facts as they believed them to be. Then there were the rest who for any number of reasons promote a tirade of rants referred to as "Fear Porn "Who knows what the future holds or how much of this "Fear Porn" has a basis of truth? The point is there are countless opinions on what people believe and which could come to pass. The central character in my story is Jack. He lives his life as if tomorrow will be the same as today, but, he is also a man who is prepared for the possibility that it might not be. His belief is, better to have it and never need it than to need it and not have it This is his and his family's story with a plausible series of events which one can believe is a real possibility in the world we live in today. I worked in the Grocery business. I saw first-hand on a number of occasions what happens when people go into panic mode and rush to the store to stock-up. In panic mode they buy whatever they can grab before someone else gets to it before them. This typically takes place when severe weather was expected or had struck suddenly. I can only imagine how it might have gone had those times I witnessed been driven by an epic disaster as portrayed in my story. My hope is that you find this book a compelling read and that if you do you will recommend it to others who may find this topic intriguing as well. Thank you, Paul King
